I absolutely love this idea! I have alot of Etsy invitations that are BBQ themed added to my "favorites" on their site because I really want an excuse to order them! I think it will be the perfect idea for everyone to kick back and relax before the big day!

I loove the 4th invitation!! It looks so cute since you are doing more of a backyard diy theme (plus is matches your adorable boat idea!) I love the peanuts idea too. Just found your blog and its so cute!! Can't wait to see future posts!

Love it! Definitely the kind of thing we're going for. Here are the invites we ordered and I think they could be up your ally too! http://www.etsy.com/listing/93100292/bbq-barn-bash-wedding-shower?ref=v1_other_2 I've seen her do it in the blue ribbon and blue checkered gingham! :) I just love that it's like 3-d with the raffia ribbon! WOO!! I actually should be receiving them any day now. But good for you for planning so early!!

I love this! Rehearsal dinners are an often overlooked part of the wedding, but can be a lot of fun to plan. You can definitely use some of the things you couldn't use in your wedding, since it's a lot more laid back and informal. I love your ideas, and I'm sure you'll be able to use that washi tape somehow ;)

so fun! Jon's mother is hosting our rehearsal dinner at our venue (which we have for the whole weekend) and I'm actually really looking forward to not planning any of it. To be honest, I think it's just going to be a family dinner x100 - which is just what we want :)

Girl, we are doing the SAME thing!!! We did want to do a lowcountry boil (we lived in Charleston for a year and loooove the low country) but have decided on a bbq because it is much more readily available here in KY (and less expensive as well to have catered). Check out my pinterest board for some ideas! http://pinterest.com/kjtoms2/wedding-rehearsal-dinner/

So excited to read that you are doing a backyard style rehearsal since I am planning to do one as well! I didn't want a big doings the day before and then we can invite family members that traveled far to it as well.

Good to know about this rehearsal dinner. Couple of months ago, I had arranged a dinner party for my friends at one of excellent Seattle venues. Hired a reputed caterer who made delicious food for event and we all had amazing time there.
